Support relative file paths

[ferventcoder]

Well that's interesting. Because it copies the other files to the output folder, but it doesn't detect this file. I think what you may want to do for now is determine the path from the output folder back to that file.

That will at least get you going again.

I guess it isn't working in this scenario, because the file is outside the package folder and thus it wouldn't just need to copy it, it would also need to adjust the src in the file tag.
What I did for now was to create a hardlink from the original file to the _output folder, which is the location cpack is looking for it after chocopkgupd copied and transformed the package sources.

[ferventcoder]

That works as well. I meant that you would adjust the file src to the relative path location from _output\pkgname\pkgversion to where ever on disk the path is.

So it would go something like the following: ..\..\..\packagesfolder\extensions.ps1

I understood that, but I found it un-intuitive :-) But now that I think of it, it would be the better solution, because it wouldn't require the creation of the hardlink when checking the repository out on a new machine.

@dhilgarth actually I think this was a bug in choco itself. What version of choco is running with chocopkgup?

[ferventcoder]

chocolatey/choco#232 I believe would have fixed this in 0.9.9.5. However I noticed that you filed chocolatey/choco#411 around the same time as filing this issue. Does a newer version of Choco resolve this?
